The best present you can give to any writer is to review (no matter how short) their books online and to spread the word to other readers. I've just posted reviews for favourite recent reads and it gave me joy to do so. Merry Christmas! 💙📚 #books

It is traditional in Iceland to give the gift of a book to be opened on Christmas Eve. Books are unwrapped and then read together. It is called Jolabokaflod (Christmas book flood). 📖 🎄 🖼 Reading Girl, Gustav Adolph Hennig, 1828.

Next time you feel yourself compelled to mention statistical guarantees, talk about statistical oomph instead. Same vibes, less letters. Personally I’m holding out for “With a sinking heart, our method learns a tenuous mapping on past data we hope is related to future data.”

Humans are curious not just about the world, but also about their own minds. In our new paper, we describe a specific form of curiosity in which people strategically seek information not only about their decisions but also about the accuracy of their self-evaluations. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Out now in Nature from @behrenstimb.bsky.social and crew: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Understanding this kind of schematic pattern learning and transfer will be key, IMO, to moving towards models of what we might call "higher-order cognition" or "reasoning". 🧠📈 🧪

I think many of the very wealthy have no clue how much stress the US healthcare system engenders for anyone who isn't a gazillionaire or from massive family wealth. Nor the extent that this quite reasonable concern actually hurts the national economy.

So impressed with @meredithmeredith.bsky.social at #WIREDBigInterview. I too didn’t realize Signal is 100% donation driven. Also love that she attributes usability, design, and “consumer-market fit” as foundational to their success.
